14 best smart TVs

Just a few years ago, TVs with support Smart TV features were a real wonder. Buy Now devoid of intelligent functionality device virtually meaningless, unless it will not be used anywhere in the kitchen, in the garage or bathroom. In the living room or bedroom you want to quickly get access to or other content, and only Smart TV can provide it. That is why we decided to talk about the best TVs equipped with webOS, tizen or some other operating system.

Most Popular OS

If the vast majority of smartphones sold now operates on Android and iOS, then on the market TVs there is a slightly wider variety:

1. Devices from LG come with an operating webOS system. She has a long history, its first versions were developed by Palm, which produced then a good PDA. For some time now, webOS has been exclusively adapted for tvs OS displays the main applications in the form bookmark flags in the lower area of ​​the screen. Most settings carried out literally in a couple of clicks of the console. Especially if it is called remote control (Magic Remote), supplied with the top and mid-budget 4K models. Also this operating system is capable boast a special feature thanks to which the TV screen what is happening on the computer, tablet or smartphone - for This technology is used Miracast. If to speak about flaws, only absence support format m2ts - eliminated it with the release of the fourth version OS Therefore, it is better to download 4K movies on such TVs Mkv

2. Samsung has been setting for quite a few years. on their Smart-TVs operating system Tizen. At one time, the South Koreans tried her completely to ease. As a result, Tizen began to appear on smart watches. and even refrigerators. TVs are used as It seems its most functional option. At the same time operating the system remains as simple as possible. Transmission is also supported here. Pictures on the TV display via Wi-Fi. And if the device has Bluetooth-module, and the kit includes the corresponding remote, then the operating system will understand the voice commands. But as a pointer, you can not use the remote - for some reason a few years ago, Samsung abandoned this method management. But in the new models, the built-in Steam began to appear. Link. This means that the buyer will be able to play on TV. to the games that are in his Steam library - the image will be transferred from the computer without brakes and with minimal latency. For the rest, Tizen is Typical OSes, adapted for a huge TV screen, where for those or other settings you need to make only one or two clicks on the remote.

3. Android TV is also very popular now. This operating system distributed free of charge so televisions on its base produce several companies. Most active Sony is working in this direction - the Japanese understood that Smart Linux-based TV does not produce any impressions. Perhaps, Android TV can be called the least stable system - slowdowns can even begin once on top TVs equipped with a very powerful processor and large amounts of memory. The operating system interface is adapted to the TV display and control remote control. Unfortunately, devices with Android TV are completed exclusively traditional remote control, so someone still wants connect a wireless mouse. But this operating system is famous by its openness. This means that you can run almost on it. any applications that are at least adapted to the landscape orientation screen. In particular, here you can start the torrent client by downloading With it, media content on an external hard drive. Competitors such just can not offer!

4. On this list of the most popular operating systems for smart tv exhausted. As mentioned above, Sony has before installed something from myself, developed on the basis of Linux. That operating system is quite could be used, she still feels rather well on TVs happy buyers. But it should be noted its nightmarish interface, devoid of any decorations. Yes, and set applications - extremely small, which also can not be upset. Here is why

besides Sony, only a handful of companies were engaged in such an experiment. Also on Smart-TVs you can find the operating systems Opera TV and Firefox OS.

What is better TIZEN, ANDROID TV, WEBOS

The best smart TVs on Tizen operating system

Samsung QE65Q7FAM

Rating: 4.9

Opens our rating Smart TV, created by QLED technology. This means that its 65-inch matrix has quantum dots. Speaking very roughly, these pixels are capable of glow much brighter than their conventional counterparts. As a result You can watch the TV screen from any angle - falling brightness or color distortions you will not notice. Also such a display is 10-bit. This indicates that it is here HDR-image looks best. Finally, it should be noted high frame rate - the matrix can boast a parameter of 120 Hz. In short, you will find the most smooth and rich in color picture! By itself, 4K-resolution is used here, Full HD is now better to forget.

The Tizen operating system feels great. CPU power and memory is enough for the eyes. Slow down, of course, can be achieved, but for this you have to install a huge number of additional applications. Internet access carried out on high-speed Wi-Fi or LAN-port. There is here and Bluetooth - you need it to output audio to wireless headphones and the correct operation of the One Remote.

Despite the very large size, power consumption TV does not exceed 153 watts. A little bit to reduce this parameter it is through the use of QLED-matrix. The weight of the device is 28.2 kg. It was influenced not only by the huge screen, but also an audio system.It consists of four speakers with power 10 watts each, and the whole thing is complemented by a subwoofer. By the way, if you are going to watch television, then to this model too there will be no questions - she understands all digital standards, including satellite DVB-S2. It also includes three USB ports. and four HDMI connectors. For wired audio output optical output only.

Samsung UE55MU6100U

Rating: 4.8

Our rating continues to be significantly less expensive. television. It uses not the QLED matrix, but the more traditional and the usual PLS-display. Its diagonal is 54.6 inches. Corners A review cannot be called maximum, but image distortions are extremely insignificant, not everyone will notice them. Image is displayed with a resolution of 3840x2160 pixels. Matrix update rate is 50 Hz, like most 4K displays in this price segment. Interestingly, local dimming is implemented here. it lets hope for very deep black colors. However, this the function does not work in the best way - someone even turns it off. As far as brightness is concerned, it is extremely dangerous to find fault with her. difficult - even when viewing HDR content, the picture does not seem too dull.

In the production of this smart TV, South Koreans almost did not save. In this regard, the product has received a very powerful processor, due to which Tizen almost does not slow down. The no less, if you make a direct comparison with similar models 2018, then you can notice a loss in speed. In the aggregators of the stores indicated that the operating system goes Internet only via Wi-Fi 802.11n. However, in the reviews no one does not complain about the speed of reception and transmission of data. May be, support for a higher speed standard yet implemented? Well, what you can not argue with is the presence here. Bluetooth module. It is through this technology that voice commands are transmitted, which are spoken in the complete remote. If you are interested wired connections, there are three HDMI connectors, a pair USB ports and Ethernet jack. Sound output is only optical out. Connect in your home theater in the future, because two The 10-watt speakers will gradually seem small.

The device has two independent TV tuners. The first is sharpened for cable and terrestrial television, and the second - under the satellite. It is easy enough to write a picture on a flash drive. However, instead many buyers will more often reproduce with him a video. I am glad that the regular player supports almost all modern formats. Including he understands downloaded folders with m2ts files. Not bad working here and “floating”, which literally draws additional frames.

Note that power consumption TV reaches a considerable size - 210 watts. Also exist defective specimens on which a horizontal or vertical bar. There are other cases of marriage - such a TV Be sure to change it until the warranty period is out. If it's you scared, then pay attention to other models that fall into our rating.

Samsung UE49NU7100U

Rating: 4.8

This Smart TV already belongs to the model range. 2018 year. The diagonal of its screen is 49 inches. This allows install a TV even in the bedroom, even in the living room - turned out a kind of universal option. 4K resolution looks here Ideal - you cannot see individual pixels even from a small distances. However, this is the youngest model of the 7th series, due what was not without simplifications. Frame rate the matrix set here is 50 Hz. Boost up to 100 Hz is possible, but only programmatically - by activating the corresponding function in the settings. Display created by VA technology, which speaks of average angles review - you will definitely notice a decrease in brightness, if you watch TV from somewhere on the side. But such a matrix provides a very deep black color - in this regard, TV second only to QLED and OLED TVs, which are significantly more expensive (the latter are not yet represented in the 49-inch diagonal). Another simplification is due to chromaticity. The fact is that the matrix is 8-bit. This means that HDR content is not too strong. different from the usual - about any billion colors dream not worth it.

TV case painted black frame turned out to be very narrow. As a stand used two legs - the design turned out very stable. The device has not only the screen, but also a pair of speakers. Power of each is 10 W, which can be considered the standard for such a diagonal. On the back of the device are three HDMI connectors and two Usb port. There is also a LAN-socket, necessary for wired connection. to the router. And this is almost not relevant for this model, because high-speed features of Wi-Fi 802.11ac is enough to play 4K content. There is also an optical output on the back wall - for Only audio output is used.

Unfortunately, Smart TV does not have in its part of the Bluetooth module. That is why the package includes ordinary remote control that does not support voice input. It also does practically impossible to connect headphones.

Samsung UE43NU7400U

Rating: 4.7

One of the most compact TVs in our ranking. On its front panel is a VA-display, diagonal which does not exceed 42.5 inches (108 cm). In this case, the buyer is waiting full 4K resolution. It is because of the compliance with the Ultra standard. HD TV costs quite tangible 40 thousand rubles.

Like other devices from Samsung, this model operates under the control of Tizen. Operating system if and podlagivaet, in the rarest cases. Smart TV belongs for the 2024 lineup, so there is already a built-in Steam Link, simplifying the transfer of computer games.

The body of this model is painted black. The screen located here has an anti-reflective coating. Sweep frequency here equals standard 50 Hz. Programmatically picture can be done smoother - the TV handles this task quite well. Although the maximum level of smoothness is better not to exhibit, otherwise you will find many artifacts. Viewing angles are also averages. But black color can be called very deep - VA-matrix is ​​doing its job. The HDR effect is here on the “four with a minus” - it is felt that the display is only 8-bit.

42.5 inches diagonal indicates that the TV ideal for installation in the bedroom. If your room has large enough area, then this screen will not be enough. how can not arrange and audio system, consisting of two speakers power of 10 watts.Fortunately, the sound can be easily output. on the soundbar or home theater, using the optical output. But the headphones can not be connected - there is no neither the 3.5 mm audio jack nor the Bluetooth. Due to lack of the last one is equipped with a regular remote control, which is devoid of microphone This imposes a certain amount of use on YouTube. restriction - entering a search query will take some time.

Connect to the router by high-speed standard Wi-Fi 802.11ac. However, no one bothers use a wired connection if you suddenly need to. In addition to the LAN port on the back, you can find three HDMI and two USB sockets. It should be noted that the USB 3.0 connector is not here, so It’s better not to play videos with a very high bitrate interface.

Best Smart TVs on Android TV OS

Sony KD-49XE8096

Rating: 4.9

If image quality is very important to you, Be sure to pay attention to this TV. Many people Sony is said to be making a huge mark up for the brand. But at the very This is not true - the high cost is due to better quality picture. Sony KD-49XE8096 is a clear confirmation of this. However, not without reservation.

The buyer of this model is waiting for juicy colors and high backlight brightness. Also, the TV can boast maximum angles review, while mid-budget competitors from LG and Samsung it is obligatory or will be distorted colors, or brightness will begin to fall. However there is a couple if not problems, then restrictions. 8-bit is used here. color depth (to which most buyers will not even turn Attention). And still the TV badly melts a dynamic picture. If a The image is filled with the entire screen, then everything is in order. If from the top and bottom there are black stripes, then jerks begin. This is software a problem that has not been solved for several years.

The screen of this Smart TV has a diagonal of 48.5 inches (123 cm) Another product can boast a very thin frame. Sound output two speakers with a capacity of 10 watts - in this regard, Sony decided not to excel. If you do not want to wake up sleeping next to half or your children, you can connect headphones. You can do it 3.5mm audio jack or Bluetooth module. it immediately sets off the TV against the background of South Korean products. Still On the rear panel there are three USB ports and four HDMI jacks. In short, with the connection of technology to the device will not be exactly no problem!

This model supports all standards of digital TV, including terrestrial DVB-T2 and satellite DVB-S2. As for the exit to the Internet, it is carried out via cable or Wi-Fi 802.11ac. Android TV is responsible for processing information here. Operating theater the system slows down, but in quite rare cases. I am glad that The ability to install programs from third-party sources has not gone away - so you can find a torrent client and other similar software.

Philips 49PUS6412

Rating: 4.8

This TV hit our rating thanks to its thin frame, painted in silver color. However, not only her. We remember how TVs in their time Philips stirred up the public. Their highlight space behind the screen, called Ambilight, visually expands the picture. Many people ready to buy such a device just because of it! So what consumers are advised to take a look at the Philips 49PUS6412. This model operates on Android TV - operating system, for which created a huge number of applications. Optimization - at the level, although it is still impossible to call her ideal.

The IPS display is located on the front of the Smart TV. with 4K resolution, 48.5 inches (123 cm) diagonal. Perhaps, the main drawbacks of the device derive precisely from the matrix used. Viewing angles are good here, but some dimming of the picture is still noticeably. But the black color is the most disappointing - it's here. far from ideal. Also some specimens sin dark corners - this results in the use of Direct LED backlight. But the central part of the screen is illuminated as uniformly as possible.

Do not think that we are trying to scare you. Flaws creators are invisible to the vast majority of lowly Buyers - this is confirmed by numerous reviews. But limited Bluetooth can not complain. He's here is present, but it is extremely difficult to connect to it - they are supported by a minimum number of audio systems. Comes to to the point that it is easier to connect wired headphones, connector for which, fortunately present on the back. Nearby 3.5 mm jacks feature four HDMI jacks and a pair USB ports. Internet connection can also be wired. in a way. In fact, this is the only connection method that provides comfortable viewing of online content in 4K-resolution. Unfortunately, Wi-Fi does not support the standard 802.11ac, in connection with which at certain moments it lacks bandwidth abilities.

If we are already talking about the global web, it should be noted easy to enter URLs and some search queries. For this purpose, on the back of the remote control placed QWERTY-keyboard, which is very convenient to use. Otherwise, this is a regular remote that does not have a pointer function. or receive voice commands.

The device allows you to connect to it at least cable TV, at least satellite "dish". TV stand held by an elegant D-shaped stand. Sound output two 10-watt dynamics - in this regard, this model is unlikely to surprise you with something. In short, this is a very good option for your money. How could you notice competitors with similar characteristics stand on good ten thousand rubles more.

BBK 50LEX-6027 / UTS2C

Rating: 4.6

Many people choose to buy LCD TVs from three most famous brands. But still need to recognize that such devices have a slightly overpriced price tag. Alas, not all residents of Russia able to boast a large salary. If your funds are strong too limited, better to look at cheaper televisions. For example, a good model with a 49.5-inch screen presented a Chinese company BBK Electronics. In the Russian retail for this LCD TV ask 26 thousand rubles, which is quite acceptable for such a diagonal.

So, with what the buyer will have to accept? First, with a fairly wide frame - it immediately rushes in the eyes. Secondly, with not the highest reliability - we would not count on a ten-year lifespan (although some the percentage of copies produced will last even longer). Third you just have to conjure over the settings - default colors on the screen will be wrong. Fourth, the Android operating system The TV works here not too fast. However, if you only use YouTube, then get used to the firmware no labor will not be up. Finally, there is a very weak sound. Smart TV turned out large enough, and the dynamics inside it - only 8-watt.

Like the models discussed above, the BBK product able to boast 4K-resolution. However, if you want to watch film in such a resolution - will have to "shaman". The fact is that the operating system installed here copes with reproducing such heavy content with great difficulty. The problem is solved, as they say, dancing with a tambourine.

The manufacturer does not specify for which technology fabricated matrix. However, there are almost no complaints in the reviews. on the quality of the picture, so you can safely say that unassuming Buyer display exactly suit. There is even support for HDR, let and in a somewhat truncated form. Content can be downloaded a variety of in ways. To implement DLNA you will need to install supporting this technology application. Connection to the global web is either over the wire, or via Wi-Fi 802.11n. You can also use external image sources — for example, a game console. To connect those Three USB ports and the same number of HDMI connectors are provided. Also, the Chinese have not forgotten the headphone output.

The best thing about the simplest parts says weight devices - it does not exceed 10.4 kg, and this is already in view of the stand!

Top Smart TVs running webOS

LG OLED65C7V

Rating: 4.9

One of the most expensive TVs in our ranking. Its high cost is due to the presence of the OLED-matrix. Organic LEDs do not require a separate backlit layer, due to with which the television panel turned out to be extremely thin. It also contributed almost infinite contrast - black here is exactly the way he should be.

The screen installed here is 64.5 inches. (164 cm), and the width of the frame is minimized. how Oddly enough, even such a huge TV can be held by a stand. Although no one will argue with the fact that it is better to hang it all the same on the wall. Large sizes allow you to recommend to install this a model exclusively in large rooms is definitely not the best choice for a bedroom or children's room.

The matrix used here has an increased frequency. frames. This has a positive effect on viewing dynamic content. Also, Smart TV can boast perfect HDR support, because the depth colors brought to 10 bits. Watch the video on the OLED screen can via internet connection. For this is used, of course, Wi-Fi 802.11ac. However, no one forbids the use of wired connect to the router if it seems to you more stable. As for the interaction with other devices, the creators placed on the back of the OLED TV four HDMI jacks and three Usb port. More, perhaps, is not necessary.

Inside this model there are two TV tuners, which allows Watch and cable, and terrestrial, and satellite TV. But practice shows that the owners of such televisions prefer Watch much better content - for example, HDR movies. If we talk about sound, then it gives four speakers power of 10 watts. Separately allocated subwoofer, so you can achieve the perfect bass, not drowning the voice of people and other sounds. If you have a home theater or soundbar, you can use the optical audio output. Connectors for no headphones here, but hardly anyone wants to use paired with such a huge TV is a wired accessory.

WebOS works here without any complaints. Feels like that the South Koreans did not spare the money for a powerful processor and quite a large amount of memory. To control the system can use voice commands, a special pointer (on its movement gyro effect or traditional button presses on the remote control.

LG OLED55B7V

Rating: 4.8

Another OLED TV with Smart TV in this rating is already much more affordable. In Russian stores, this device is offered for purchase. for 100 thousand rubles. It is easy to guess that such a TV will have not the largest diagonal. Indeed, the buyer waiting for 54.6 inches (139 cm). This is the minimum from which modern ones start. OLED TVs. But it must be admitted that even this will be a lot for some small room.

Of course, the screen can boast of full 4K-resolution. Contrast - perfect, on this screen is black color is the most real. The display also has a 10-bit color depth, so that HDR-videos show the maximum possible. It should be noted and high refresh rate which makes dynamic scenes very smooth.

As the operating system used here WebOS. This means that the buyer will enjoy the intuitive management. Slowdowns are practically excluded, especially if You will not forget to update the software to the latest version. Included with the TV comes with a brand-pointer Magic Remote.

Of course, such a device could not do without high-speed wireless modules. Against this background completely does not upset the lack of a 3.5mm jack here - In any case, it is much easier to use Bluetooth headphones. But four HDMI jacks and three USB ports cause only joyful ones. feelings, because with them you can forget about the AV-receiver. To output sound here are four speakers with a capacity of 10 watts. If this it seems a little, the optical audio output will come to the rescue, to which the soundbar or home theater is connected. Still on the back panel you can find a pair of antenna inputs - they intended for viewing on-air, cable TV and, of course, "Satellite".

It seems that the possibilities of this smart TV for many people enough with the head. If standard models are not very high margin of brightness, here this parameter is increased exactly twice. That is why you quickly highlight the OLED TV, standing on the counter next to devices that have less advanced screen.

LG 49SJ810V

Rating: 4.7

Some people will definitely call this TV the best among those that do not have in their composition QLED-or OLED-matrix. We are still not be so categorical. However, this model just could not enter into our ranking of the best Smart-TVs. This device has an IPS panel, the diagonal of which equals 49.5 inches (126 cm). Technology is implemented here. Nano Cell, which supposedly makes the picture more vivid. Unfortunately, if look at the matrix under the microscope, then you can see that White has been added to the green, red and blue subpixels. it adversely affects color reproduction - achieve natural and natural colors if possible, only a very long fuss with settings.Also when compared directly with another 4K TV it may seem that the picture is slightly blurred.

However, you should not be afraid. There are lots of buyers which device is 100% satisfied - numerous positive reviews only confirm this. This model looks great due to thin frame and elegant arc-shaped stand. Viewing angles - close to the maximum (but still you can see some dimming pictures). There is also a mode that makes the picture more smooth - This also has a positive effect on perception. On the back TVs have three USB ports and four HDMI connectors, which more than enough to connect gaming consoles and other equipment. Not forgotten, and Ethernet-port required for wired connection to the router. But it's much easier to use Wi-Fi for this. 802.11ac (someday expert.bigbadmole.com/en/en/ will tell you about the best routers with the support of this standard).

In terms of sound Smart TV LG 49SJ810V not will offer nothing out of the ordinary. Two loudspeakers are built in here. 10 watts each. If you want to maximize impressions from watching movies, it’s better to get a soundbar or home cinema This model is also able to boast a pair of TV tuners, which means about the possibility of connecting a satellite dish.

It remains to add that the product has a very low power consumption - even regular use of the TV is almost will not affect your electricity bills.

LG 43UJ630V

Rating: 4.7

The cheapest LCD TV in our selection. Wherein it also has webOS, a full-fledged operating system that allows install several additional applications. The picture here is displayed on the IPS-display, the diagonal of which is 42.5 inches (108 cm). This TV will ideally look in the bedroom or any other. small room. Low cost has a negative effect on the width of the frame. Also, not everyone can be satisfied with the plastic from which the large part of the body and stand. Against this background, it is surprising that such an inexpensive TV is not deprived of satellite TV tuner! Also pleased with the fact that South Koreans are generous to a wireless module that supports Wi-Fi 802.11ac. If this standard were not recognized, it would have connect the TV to the router via wire - otherwise 4K-content online playback would be a big problem.

This model supports HDR. But actually you are unlikely to notice major changes in games when activate this mode. The fact is that here is used by no means not a 10-bit matrix. But even worse, the HDR display is very affected. too bright lights - because of her black colors do not look too much naturally. And lowering the brightness is not recommended - in this The case will be too dark. But it is an old misfortune 4K TVs with IPS-screen - for a reason they are cheaper fellow with a VA-matrix, not to mention the QLED-models.

The audio output here is handled by a standard audio system, consisting of two 10-watt speakers. In the future you can buy soundbar or home theater, outputting sound through optical audio output. If you have wireless headphones, they too come in handy - there is a corresponding module. And also bluetooth allows you to use the Magic Remote to facilitate control. But him will have to buy separately, which is slightly disappointing.

Actually finding fault with this smart tv it is possible, but you do not want to do it at all. Yes built in here not a record number of connectors. But the vast majority owners of 43-inch LCD panels are occupied with only two HDMI jacks, and here they are even three. Seriously complain, perhaps, only on the structure matrices - LG has used a white subpixel. Because of this color rendering is rarely perfect. But, again, not everyone the unassuming buyer will pay attention to the dirty white colors, most often turning gray.

Top Smart TVs on Alternative Platforms

Sony KD-55XF7096

Rating: 4.9

Japanese manufacturers of LCD TVs for a long time could not decide which operating system to use in your devices. As a result, a lot of things went off the assembly line at Sony. the number of devices that Linux provides. Essentially this the usual firmware, which is supplemented by some popular services - for example, through this OS you can open YouTube or any online cinema. However, we do not recommend to expect more. Internet browser is here, but its speed is far from ideal. About downloading additional applications in general, you need to forget.

Well, how does the TV show itself, if you forget about its "smart" component? Almost perfect. On his face panel IPS-matrix is ​​located, the diagonal of which is 54.6 inches (139 cm). No white subpixels here, and the backlight brightness Enough greatly increased. All this allows you to enjoy wonderful picture in full 4K-resolution, which is also practically perfect viewing angles. It's not for nothing that Sony products are usually bought precisely because high-quality images. Separately, it should be noted used here Direct LED backlight - it completely eliminates the appearance of instances with lights on the edges of the screen. It shows itself well here and HDR, although the ideal picture in this mode is still impossible to name.

The rest is a typical modern 4K TV. He understands all the standards of digital TV, including satellite DVB-S2. To receive pictures from external sources, three HDMI jacks are used. The same number of USB connectors allows you to connect a large number external drives and peripherals. Or power up the game console SNES Classic Mini. But the manufacturer saved on wireless modules - Wi-Fi 802.11n bandwidth is not always enough, Bluetooth here is completely absent. Good thing the 3.5mm audio jack is nowhere did not go away, otherwise the buyer would have completely lost the ability to connect headphones. By the way, it uses simple speakers with power 10 W each - in the future you will definitely want to output a sound for something more serious.

It remains to add that the Smart TV turned out to be quite large, in connection with which the power consumption from him is appropriate. Also, this model suffers from not the best melting of the image when above and below there are black stripes.

Sony KD-55XE7096

Rating: 4.8

This TV is not too different from the above. He is definitely newer - this is one of the most recent representatives of our rating. The appearance of his stand has changed a lot - now it is D-shaped. Well, the framework perhaps they have become even more subtle.The display is about the same most. It has a diagonal of 54.6 inches. Viewing angles - maximum that can not but rejoice. Also it should be noted juicy colors. A good HDR effect is also obtained here, although it’s still far from OLED TVs. The sweep frequency is normal here. but programmatically, the picture can easily be made smoother. but trouble with uplavniem with black bars above and below here preserved.

Sony is the only TV maker that constantly rushing from one operating system to another. Here installed Opera TV - atypical OSes, sharpened exclusively under the TV. This is better than Linux, but in terms of the number of available applications operating system is much inferior to Tizen and webOS. However, if you only watch online cinemas and YouTube, you won't even notice this flaw!

Smart TV comes with a regular remote control. And how can he be different, if there is simply no Bluetooth? I am glad that at least the headphone jack is present. Well, Internet access is via Wi-Fi 802.11n. But it's better to connect to the router with a cable - it will simplify online viewing of 4K content.

It remains to add that the product has a standard audio system consisting of two speakers with a capacity of 10 watts. If this seems a little, then you can use optical audio output by connecting home theater or soundbar to it.

Rating: 4.7

Another atypical representative of our rating. Japanese The manufacturer installed here Firefox OS. Initially this operating system developed for use on smartphones. However, further release several models did not matter. But now this OS can be found in some smart TVs. It is different from analogs. high speed and very small application size. It's a pity only that these programs exist quite a bit.

The screen here is 139 centimeter. IPS panel. The colors are natural, the viewing angles are wide enough. However, the contrast is very low - this is the main drawback of all Ips displays. This means that the HDR effect will be barely noticeable. Frequency screen updates are standard, but software “payload” works quite well. In short, the buyer is waiting for the average quality display. The Japanese in this regard are much inferior to Sony, but a little bit superior products of South Korean colleagues.

The product was supported by on-air cable and satellite tv. Sound is output on standard 10-watt speakers. In the future, the buyer may acquire a sound panel - it is connected via an optical audio output. Still on the back of the TV are three HDMI jacks and a pair USB connectors. There is also an Ethernet port. It is useful in that If your router does not support high-speed Wi-Fi standard 802.11ac.

The rest is a typical inexpensive LCD TV. It comes with an ordinary remote control. He does not have Bluetooth. At least the light sensor is not forgotten. However, many buyers prefer to turn off his work - not everyone likes the dark picture, namely, it becomes such when turning off the light in the evening.

Conclusion

As you may have noticed, we completely went around side compact TVs, the screen size which does not reach 43 inches. The fact is that such devices if they get Smart TV, they work extremely slowly. This is due to the fact that the weak and inexpensive LCD TVs are being introduced processor and minimum memory. As a result, their customers quickly stop using smart functionality, since it only causes irritation. Therefore, if you want to receive from the TV with smart tv fun, then consider buying as minimum 43-inch model.
